  jr brown said in response to this question, "so neither the volunteer workers nor the leadership itself of the jehovah'w witness church professes to be spirit-inspired or directed or what not?

  ", "no, no, we don't have anybody that expects that".. yet, one of the 2 pre baptism questions is;.

  do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of jehovah's witnesses in association with god's spirit directed organization?

  JR Brown said in response to this question, "So neither the volunteer workers nor the leadership itself of the Jehovah'w Witness church professes to be spirit-inspired or directed or what not?", "No, no, we don't have anybody that expects that".

  Yet, one of the 2 pre baptism questions is;

  Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit directed organization? Having answered yes to these questions, candidates are in a right heart condition to undergo Christian baptism.

  Is this not contradictory?

  How do you deal with a "Joy Kill?"

  a friend of mine just got out of a relationship in which she was abused.

  we all have supported her exit, and encouraged her to get counseling.

  she is doing well, yet the details of her life and what happened are not something i think should come up with strangers in every day conversation.

  When trying to talk to a JW what is the best method?

  by omerp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if there is someone whom is a long time jw, how do you bring him back into reality or is that possible?

  how do you make them reflect that it is possible that they are wrong about the bible track society?

  anything you say they alway twist it around anyways with their prepared answers.

  "Suppose you are all right, don't you suppose people will talk about things like this?"

  Hmmm...I thought he was sure that he was right and had the "truth".

  Tell me it's not a lie.

  ) people baptized at that convention.

  In most countries, it is illegal for a child under the age of 18 to enter into any form of contract, whether written or verbal. One's dedication and baptism is looked upon as a contract by the dubs. Hmmmm

  What Bothers You The Most About Jehovah's Witnesses?

  for me, i think it's their hypocrisy.

  they lead (the vast majority) a double life.

  and ultimately they look down on anyone not a jw yet they won't even wn up to it.

  Are We Missing the Bigger Picture???

  by drew sagan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all pretty much have come to the same conclusion here that the watchtower is a corrupt system that controlls it's followers.

  through websites, tv, and books many have put in alot of time exposing the teachings for what they really are.

  but is there something going on in the organization right now that is even bigger than the false doctrines, something that shows they are in the planning stage of something that's even more corrupt than what is going on now?

  That was my impression. I believe that they are changing big time. Good post.
